Industrial Switchgear

Switchgear Engineered Around the Electrical System

DPES designs and builds industrial switchgear around the electrical equipment, control requirements, operating environment, and overall project scope. Switchgear can be coordinated with drives, PLC-based controls, instrumentation, and other electrical systems when the application requires a complete integrated solution.

Application Purpose

Electrical Distribution Is Part of the Complete System

Industrial switchgear provides an important connection between the electrical supply and the equipment that must operate from it. The requirements of that system depend on the equipment, electrical architecture, controls, operating environment, and project-specific design.

DPES approaches switchgear as part of the complete electrical application, coordinating it with the equipment and systems it serves.

Integrated Capabilities

Project-Specific Switchgear Integration

Electrical System Integration

Coordinate switchgear with the broader electrical architecture of the project.

Control Integration

Connect required operating and status functions with the industrial control system where appropriate.

Drive System Coordination

Integrate switchgear requirements with VFD and industrial drive systems when they are part of the same application.

Equipment Interface

Engineer the electrical system around the equipment it must supply and control.

Installation Coordination

Coordinate project-specific switchgear requirements with the installation and surrounding electrical scope.

Commissioning Support

Support system integration and commissioning as part of the complete project.

Requirements-First Engineering

Designed Around the Project

Electrical projects can vary significantly in equipment, operating conditions, controls, distribution requirements, installation constraints, and system architecture. DPES develops switchgear around those project-specific requirements instead of presenting a single fixed configuration for every application.

Equipment

Identify the equipment the electrical system must supply and support.

Operating Conditions

Account for the project environment and operating requirements.

Controls

Define the required interfaces with the control system.

Distribution

Coordinate the electrical distribution requirements of the project.

Installation

Consider installation constraints and surrounding electrical scope.

Commissioning

Plan the transition from integration to an operating system.
